More Fun with Ian

This week, we celebrated one month with Ian, his first appointment with the pediatrician, and his first visit with the audiologist. We also had 3 days in a row with naps, more new teeth, and his first taste of mac & cheese. What kid is truly an American without it?

Tomorrow, we head out bright and early (I'm up at 3am!) for Phoenix to introduce Ian to his Grama & Paga (my parents). We were looking forward to a fun week by the pool, but the bad weather that hit Washington this week has now moved down the coast and is gracing Arizona with it's presence. Just our luck. Thanks a lot Mother Nature!

Ian is in my lap for 2 1/2 hours tomorrow, but since I'm waking him early, I'm hoping a meal and a nap on the plane will keep him busy. With any luck, we'll have nobody next to us...and with even more luck, we'll have the row to ourselves (yeah right!).

Our next post will be from Arizona, but for now, here are a few pics from this week:

Ian's new favorite toy... a $2 plastic bus from a kid's consignment shop...checking out the tires, naturally.

...And under the hood

He cracks himself up and laughs like Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter

He loved this toy at Children's Hospital...It's like I wasn't even in the room.

He was so thoughtful over this toy... I could hear him thinking "If a machine has 14 gears, what direction must the 10th gear be moving in order for the 14th gear to move counter clockwise?"

Ian mastered holding a juicebox by himself this week...the finesse of when to squeeze it is another story (and yes, I'm bold enough to dress my child in white with no bib!).

Your not American until you've fallen in love with macaroni & cheese!
